Hmmm, that meteor shower reminded me of sitting on the astronomy tower at school ( Read more... )

You know, this is the first time I've been up here.

[Hey, by the way]

[Draco glances over and smiles a little]

Really? How long have you been here?

[A small smile back]

Nearly a year now.

[a beat, then a vaguely amused sound at that notion]

You're happy about that?

lord_wizard October 23 2011, 10:27:48 UTC
I don't think happy is the word I'd use, but I have little to regret.

[He gazes out at the skyline]

I used to go up to the battlements all the time back in the Mirador...

So you lived in a castle back home too?

[Asks glancing over at him.]

The Mirador was closer to a fortress. Similar to this, but there were no windows anywhere. Paradisa reminds me of it from time to time. Like now, I suppose.

If you had a fortress with no windows didn't that put you in greater danger of not seeing an attack?

[Shakes his head, smiling slightly]

Not at all. If anyone were ever fool enough to try to invade, they'd have to get past the city walls, first, then the entirety of Mélusine. Plus, the Mirador is both on a hill and the tallest structure in the city.

Of course, even if they managed that, they would have both the Mirador's wards and a fortress full of wizards to contend with. Which is exactly why they won't.

So then why were they no windows?

[Shrug] Harder to shoot arrows through, presumably.

The Mirador is much older than the government that holds power in Mélusine currently. There was a line of kings that stretched far back into the ages. I imagine they found it useful.

Yes but castle windows are notoriously small surely you want windows to shoot out of? Fair enough i suppose.

[Remarks looking up at the sky.]

Do you name your stars?

Reply

lord_wizard October 26 2011, 07:18:37 UTC
We do indeed. Well, mostly their formations.

Reply

malfoy_purity October 26 2011, 18:03:14 UTC
Hmm I imagine that would be the same for most worlds, using the stars to sail and fly by.

Reply

lord_wizard October 26 2011, 21:19:55 UTC
I imagine so.

Have you found any of your stars here?

Reply

malfoy_purity October 27 2011, 22:29:02 UTC
No.

[Murmurs with a sigh]

Which would have been nice, I'm named after them you know.
